Jillian Michaels' workouts are vigorous, and while they may only last 20-30 minutes, she packs in so much that you get a lot of out it. If you're exercising, you need more because your body needs to refuel and repair itself, especially after workouts like these. Any less and your body will start to suffer. If you're not exercising, you need to consume about 1,200 calories a day. There's also a brilliant meal plan online - to lose weight you should eat less and move more, but you have to be careful not to eat too little. It uses her 3-2-1 method of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs, and each workout lasts 25 minutes. This DVD is set up in the same way as Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2023 So I think a chest strap would work better or just go with how you feel! I now discover the Fitbit heart monitor is poor at detecting weights workouts and with a bent wrist fails to work to detect heart rate. However what I wrote before was that my Fitbit still gave me very low scores for my workout telling me I was nearly always ‘below zones’ even though I was very sweaty and had worked hard. I mean the same amount but it’s not as high impact.

I really enjoyed level 2 almost more than any others (which include the 30ds). I did do level 2 and updated this but mustn’t have submitted it. This showed when I saw my Fitbit results - I was 50% below zones - although I had a minute in Peak! All in all it’s a good workout but I might just do it one day of it before moving to level 2 (which I hear is far harder). So I felt that parts I was getting a good workout and in other parts I felt I wasn’t fully stretched. The strength part is good and I was able to use my kettlebell but the cardio and Abs sections are far easier than I’m used to from the 30DS. Then the workout began!Ĭombining Strength, Cardio and Abs - it’s familiar. I barely broke a sweat and it seemed quicker too. The first thing I noticed was that the warm up is easier. I put it on today with a high degree of expectation. And I had read that level 1 is closer to level 2 or 3 of the 30 DS. It’s similar in its layout so fits nicely into the 30 days. I’ve been doing the 30 Day Shred for 19 days and wanted to change the routine slightly as I’m getting less from the 30DS than when I started.
